So it seems like you are both saying that I am unlikely to know much the night before..... i.e. it would have to be running like 6 hours late out of Chicago to be assured that it would arrive DEN late?

Also, what is the cut-off for checked bags on delayed trains? Does the cut-off get pushed back for a delayed train?

Thanks again.

Unless you're traveling really heavy, it won't be necessary for you to check luggage.

Amtrak Superliners have plenty of space for storage of large bags on the lower level --- storage in the rooms is very limited and you should plan on using a small overnight bag.
